Summary/Abstract: The study deals with the transformation of decisions and division of labor within the family by processing the results of a qualitative, interviewed study of the target group of weekly workers. The study shows how decisions are restructured according to roles within the family and how the roles of women and men change as a result of the regular absence of one family member. From the point of view of the approach to domestic work, the differences between weekdays and weekends, which can be considered as a consequence of weekend, come to the fore. In the course of the analysis, we examined whether there was a change in the decision-making processes within the family as a result of the weekly (and if so, what areas were affected by the change) and whether there was a radical change in the division of family responsibilities as a result of the weekend. I present the results on the basis of two dimensions, on the one hand, of the phenomena of disposition and decision-making over income, and, on the other hand, of the division of family responsibilities and problem-solving.
